After our last concert in St. Cross which consisted of many individual songs of contrasting styles and ages we are now concentrating on our presentation of one of the most moving and powerful works of English choral music composed by Edward Elgar, namely “The Dream of Gerontius.”
 We shall be joined in our performance in Romsey Abbey on July 2nd by three fabulous soloists together with the Waverley Singers from Farnham - who will be most welcome to swell our numbers for a piece that requires a large chorus. Richard Pearce is also their musical director so it's a natural collaboration.
 “The Dream of Gerontius” depicts a man’s death and his soul’s journey through to the next world according to Catholic doctrine. The message is very much one of hope and optimism, of man’s ability to overcome trials and tribulations and to finally achieve peace.
 We shall have quite a unique feature in our performance of a father and son performing together. Richard Pearce will of course be conducting us and his father, Michael Pearce, will be singing the solo bass parts - a musical experience not to be missed.
